‘RE-IMAGINE EUROPE’ RESIDENCY 2019

 

Collaborative Residency developing immersive installation, focussing on issues of European Migration
 

‘SONGS OF THE EDGE’ uses sound to explore immigration, borders and architecture. 



 

Our aim for this residency was to reflect on the boundary of Europe and how this is experienced in the current political climate. 
We worked with Immigration Detention Centres and locations where issues of migration are felt acutely, investigating elements of political architecture through sound and physical interaction, particularly approaching sound recording as a form of ‘bearing witness’.

 

Utilising experimental recording techniques and immersive spatial audio, we developed early-stage interactive structures as tools 
for collaborative co-creation, inspiring political agency via audience engagement.
